Democrats’ Obsessive Efforts To Fracture Tea Party

Sadly for America, as of last Friday it has now been irrefutably established that, barring a government shutdown, the ravages of Congressional spending will never be brought into line. And since the current Republican “leadership” has asserted with just as much certainty that no shutdown will occur on their watch, the inescapable conclusion is that the spending spree will continue unabated until the national economy collapses under its weight.

Let the key players juggle the numbers to bias any analysis in their favor, the reality remains unchanged. America, now $14.5 trillion in the red (and getting billions deeper each day), will remain on this disastrous course with no end in sight. Beltway insiders simply cannot and will not recognize that this pattern cannot continue indefinitely. Preservation of the current power structure requires that those at the highest levels of both major political parties pretend that they are aware of the looming danger, while stubbornly refusing to address it squarely.

House Speaker John Boehner (R.-OH) has lauded the budget “compromise” (read: capitulation) as a major step back from the looming financial abyss. Not to be outdone, Barack Obama, of all people, is likewise claiming credit for this grand budgetary reduction of barely 1%, and this after he swelled it by nearly 50% in the past few years.

Only one entity stands in the way of business as usual in Washington. And that is the conservative grassroots uprising known as the “Tea Party.” Since its inception in early 2009, the political establishment and its media propagandists have sought to undermine and ultimately, neutralize this insurgency of the peasantry. From its early mischaracterization as a tiny fringe group, to the childish and disgraceful derision of it as “Tea Baggers,” America’s leftists, both in the media and on Capitol Hill, believed they could simply revert to their standard tactics of mockery and ridicule to dispirit and diffuse the movement. But despite such efforts, last November’s stunning elections proved the liberals’ arrogant assumptions of political hegemony were flatly wrong.

Being liberals however, they neither recognize their errors nor give up their fight. Rather, they regroup, repackage their worn-out message, and presume to remain fixed on the philosophical and moral “high ground” while working through any devious means to overtake their enemy. Beneath the veneer of the recent budget battle, all of the disingenuous and manipulative liberal ploys were going on in full force.
